World tour in 8 minutes (NSFW)

I moved to Memphis from Chicago 4 years ago, and had a big culture shock. Not only is the food and the racial climate incredibly different, the accent took some getting used to. Over the first year, I learned how to use terms like, "fixin' to," and "yard bird," in casual conversation. My favorite to date is, "sumbitch." (As in: "Cletus is one lazy sumbitch.")

So here is the very deadpan Jake taking on 24 accents in 8 minutes in order to entertain his mates. (That's "friends" in case you need help translating.)
